Preface
India is home to the largest concentration of tribal population in the world. As per 1991 Census, the population of Scheduled Tribes in India (except in Jammu and Kashmir, where this Census was not conducted), was 6,78,00,000 which constituted little more than 8 per cent of India's population. Whereas sufficient literature is available on various tribal communities of India, the trans-humant nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes belonging to the Gujjar and Bakarwal community of Jammu and Kashmir have escaped attention. As such the study of this tribe which is numerically the third larg-est community in Jammu and Kashmir after Kashmiri Muslims and Dogras, assumes importance. This book is mainly based on the proceedings of the three day national Seminar-cum-Exhibi-tion that was organised by the Himalayan Research and Cul-tural Foundation in collaboration with the Gurjar Desh Chari-table Trust, Jammu - a premier Gujjar welfare, educational and cultural organisation in Jammu and Kashmir, and National Museum of Mankind, Bhopal at Jammu in 1999, in which eminent academics, area specialists, human geographers and representatives of the Gujjar and Bakarwal community deliberated upon various issues related to this tribe.
